Looking to build a Sophos UTM Home firewall for my house. Currently running a SonicWALL TZ215 but it maxes out at about 65mbps. I'd like to upgrade to a 150mbps connection, but also want some breathing room for when my ISP upgrades, therefore 250-300mbps is the target.
Security is important as I have 2 sons who do crazy things and are always downloading mods for minecraft and doing things they shouldn't. So full UTM with web security is desired.
Knowing that I'm attempting to attain 250mbps with full security enabled, I was thinking I would need something like an Intel Core i5-4690 Haswell Quad-Core 3.5GHz with 16GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. I would also pair it with Intel Gb NICs.
Will that do 250mbps? Or am I overshooting or undershooting it? I really have no idea how much power I need for this. Thanks in advance for the assistance.
